Security

The district may control which conference and discipline incidents parent and students view by using the security filter. Each discipline code and conference code is assigned a security value in Synergy SIS ranging from Lowest to Highest. For example, if a parent’s security value is set to Low the parent will be able to see all incidents with a code value of Low or Lowest. The parent will not be able to see the other incidents.

The possible values in security are Lowest, Low, Medium, High, and Highest.

Security can be set at the field level. To restrict parent and student access to certain fields, create a user in Synergy SIS and modify that user’s security to restrict the fields. This user is then selected as the model for parent and student security. For example, the district may not want to display the description field for the Discipline screen. Create a user that does not have access to that field, and then select that user as the model. For information on how to create a user and modify security see User - Security Settings.

Recent Event Configuration  

Student Events are auto-generated notices on the home page of student-specific events such as grades issued, end of grading period, conferences, etc. To modify how many events are displayed on the home page for both the students and parents, events can be filtered by time. Events are year-specific, and only the current year’s events are displayed, as defined by the active year set in Synergy SIS.

All events are still available when the student or parent clicks on the School or District Event menus. This option only controls what appears on the home page.

Some events are considered auto-events, and will automatically appear. For example, an announcement will automatically be generated announcing the end of the grading period. Any changes to the student’s data will also generate auto-events that will be listed on the home page, as defined by the date range set above.
